AUGUsTA's KNIGHTS.
The District Master Workman De-
posed-A Prohibition Boom.

AUGUSTA, GA, July 26. There is great
trouble among the knights of Labor in this
city. District Master Workman Davis has
been deposed and there is great disaffection
in the ranks. 1t develops that the fight
dates back to the admission to the order of
a prominent physician. A day or so after
his initiation there was promulgated new
constitution forbidding membership to doc.
tors of medicine. Then an attempt, with
which the District Master Workman was
identified, was made to Oust the doctor, but
the assembly which he has joined fought his
fight The different phases of the affair
cannot bc traced, but it seems
to have reached climax Saturday night,
when the District Assembly remained in
session until late Sunday morning. 1t de
veloped to-day that the Master Workman's
official head is cut of and that William
Needs, Georgia road employe, has been
set up temporarily in his stead. The row is
a well defined one, and the indications are
that the order is not likely to hold together
here long. They 60 50 far as to say that
race and religious questions have been used
to widen the breach. Emmett Assembly is
the branch which waged the N. H. Davis
fight so successfully.
PROHIBITION BOOMING.
Dr. j. B. Hawthorne, who is here attend
ant on the State meeting of the Good Temp

the Prohibition ranks in two years The
advent of the Good Templars has given
Prohibition talk another boom, and there is
talk of circulating a petition for signatures
at once. The Good Templor SESSIONS have
converted many, and proh bition already
has strong following and the trap may be
sprung any day now,
a dispatch to the Chronicle SAYS: "There
is excitement at Vamville, S. c., over the
finding of the dead body of Ted Slowman in
a trough in stable there to-day. There
were no evidences Of violence, but the peo-
pie think there is something wrong and are
worked up over the affair.
There are great preparations going on for
the negro firemens' parade here tomorrow.
1t is thought that there will be 1900 visit
ing negroes in the city.

EX-SENATOR M'DONALD TALKS
ABOUT POLITICS.

The Presidents Administration De-
clared Thoroughly Good One-No
Danger ofa Split in the Party in 1888
The Morrison Bill Met the Views Of
the Ex-senator.
CHICAGO, July 26.-Ex-Senator Joseph
G. Mcdonald of Indiana, was in the city
today and was seen by a reporter. He said:
~ am out of politics now, and am only
private in the ranks. This is an off year in
politics in our State. You see we have
adopted the biennial election law, and we
have absolutely one year in which there is
40 politics whatever.
"About the outlook for 1888, think that
4maiority of the Democratic editors of the
State favor President Cleveland's renomi-
nation. He has made Il good record
during his administration. He is a thor
oughly conscientious man, and | don't think
he has done single thing to curry favor
with the public. He does what he considers
right, let the consequences be what they
may.
THE FLAG INCIDENT.
"WeL, about those flags there was a mis-
understanding | don't believe the Presi-
dent ever gave the matter thought until
the question was raised, and then he
promptly rectified it. He will undoubtedly
be the nominee of the convention. His
nomination and election were experiments
the first time, bnt now they are not There
can be no split in the party this time.
LAS for the tariff, the Ohio resolutions
meet nv ideas pretty We'll Every one
knows that there is too heavy surplus in
the Treasury and it is constantly increas-
ing. | believe that the internal revenue
system is nearly right. | would reduce the
tax on tobacco, but would maintain the
tax on beer and liquors. Internal revenue
must be the basis of our reform policy,
SaI from this our country must receive its
supplies. Custom duties should be taken
off the necessities of life and what is called
raw material.
PROTECTING LABOR
Everything that enters into the manu-
tacture of necessary articles should remain
on the list. | am not a destructive free
trader, I'd have you know. | would not
touch the iron schedule at present The
Morrison bill that was reported favorably
by the Ways and Means Committee was a
good one, and would have come very close
to my idea. | think it was a fair bill. |
think this country is destined to be
one of the greatest manufacturing centres
of the world. For that reason | would not
interfere with protection of manufacturers
at present But the tax on coal should be
removed Three-quarters of all the coal in
the world is in this country, and | believe it
should be free to enter. The great qestiOn
Of the day is cheap fuel, and the government
uhould do all it can to solve the question
There is no reason why the United States
should not compete with the rest Of the
world successfully"

BEREsFoRD's BAD BREAK.
He Makes d Mistake Which Compels
Him to Resi- IN,

LONDON, July 26-Lord Charles Beres-
ford, Junior Lord of the Admiralty, has re
signed. He has been requested to with
draw his resignation. The cause for the
resignation was a minor breach of etiquette
at Spithead during the naval review last
Saturday. when II private signal made by
Lord Charles from the royal yacht was CON
verted into a public scandal. While the
Queen was receiving the captains of the
fleet in the saloon of the royal yacht Albert
and Victoria, Lord BeTesford, who was ON
the yacht, signalled TO the EnchantreSs,
aboard which his wife was, the following
message: Tell Lady Charles to go immedi-
ately aboard the yacht Lancashire Witch,
where | will join her"
THE CAPTAIN ENRAGED.
The Captain of the Enchantress, when
the signal was given thought of course that
it was a special royal command, but rs the
message was slowly spelled out he became
greatly enraged, He had, however, to
smother his feelings, not daring to report
Lord Charles, in view of his position as
Lord of the Admiralty The Captain could
not refrain, however, from complaining
privately to his friends, and in this way
a reporter of the Times learned of the
incident The result was the publication
of the story in Mondays issue of the Times,
Lord Charles then had no option but to re
sign. The incident is believed to be un-
paralleed Discliplnarians declare that
Lord Charles conduct was virtually gross
insult to the Queen. The permanent Off
cials of the Admiralty Office, it is said, are
delighted over the position in which Re
former Beresford" is placed by the affair.

CANADA's SEIZURES.
A Fine of $4oO Imposed on the Annie
w. Hodgdon.

w. Hodgdon.
HALIFAX, N s., July 25.-The case of
the Gloucester fishing schooner Annie w.
Hodgdon, seized yesterday at Shelburne is
similar to most of last years seizures for
customs violations, and has no connection
with the fisheries treaty. The vessel, which
had previously been only detained awaiting
orders from Ottowa, was to-day formally
seized on the charge of violating the Cana
dim customs laws, and fine of S400 was
imposed All the vessels seized last season
on a similar charge were fined
either $500 or $4OO ench, the fine be
ing deposited in every case under
protest and afterwards nearly the whcle
amount was refunded TO the various owners,
only the nominal sum Of $500 or thereabouts
being retained The governments action
respecting the Hodgdon is therefore some
than any of those committed before.
CAPT. KNowLToN POSTED.
Capt. Knowlton, of the cruiser Advance,
who made the capture, was informed some
days ago that the Hodgdon was on the
western coast and it was suspected that she
was in seal ca of bait, but so far there is no
proof. of violation of the treaty
and she is held simply
for the customs offense. When she was
seized there was some fresh Goldfish IN n tub
on deck, which Capt Morrison stated had
been brought on board by missing men who
had just been found There is no evidence
in contradiction of this, and it is
probable that the fish were really
caught on Browns Bank, being taken
from travis before the men strayed away
in the fog After tho instructions were re-
ceived from Ottawa to impose $400 fine, the
Customs Collector at Wood requested Capt,
Morrison to bring the schooner TO the
wharf, which was done, and she now lies in
the dock in charge of the Collectors men,
Capt Morrison has telegraphed TO his
owners asking whether the fine shall be
paid, but has not yet received an answer
